Risks and challenges

Having gone through numerous design and engineering iterations, and even creating several short-run forming tools to build prototypes that represent the same geometry and materials as the final production units, we are confident in our ability to produce Feastform™ titanium cooking tools. With that being said, there are inherent risks and challenges, which we've done our best to detail below:

As with any project, there are challenges associated with scaling for large production runs. Our manufacturers have made dozens of prototypes for us throughout our development process, but as you know, we have not yet produced large quantities of these products.

Although we have fully prototyped the tongs and spatula with short-run forming tools, we have not yet built a forming tool for the small spatula. The tool for the small spatula is essentially a scaled-down and re-proportioned version of the larger spatula. It has already been designed and built in CAD, and is ready to be machined, however, there is a small chance that we will need to order a second iteration of this tool if the parts do not pass our quality check, which could potentially result in a short delay. If this is the case, our backers will be the first to know, and we will work hard to keep the production on schedule.

Regarding material procurement, supply of cost-effective Grade 5 titanium sheet can be scarce at times. We will work quickly to procure sufficient stock of raw material based on our momentum on Kickstarter, but there is always a chance that there can be delays depending on our ultimate requirements for material quantities. As with all other pertinent details, we will keep our backers up to speed on these details as they progress.
